PFEP Community of Leaders

College Presidents Committed to Entrepreneurial Transformation

In 2026, NACCE relaunched the PFEP with a January signing at Seminole State College (FL) with its President and NACCE Board member, Dr. Georgia Lorenz (pictured below along with Dr. Trenton Hightower, Dr. Rebecca Corbin, and David Moridian). A new Pop-Up PFEP signing option that can take place at major higher education conferences throughout the year has been added! We look forward to testing this out at the AACC's Workforce Development Institute in late January of 2026 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Since NACCE launched the Presidents for Entrepreneurship Pledge, more than 225 presidents and chancellors have committed to infusing entrepreneurship into their colleges and communities. We are honored to serve alongside them. The map above represents the colleges that have supported transformational leadership.  

* The map above does not include international signings at Algonquin, Portage, and Northern Colleges (Canada) and Gazelle Colleges (United Kingdom).
